“The Virginia Military Institute’s Board of Visitors is gutless.”

So is the University of Virginia’s. It has voted to “contextualize” the statue of Thomas Jefferson, founder of the University, that stands in front of the Rotunda which was designed and built by Jefferson. The UVA Board also approved the removal of the George Rogers Clark statue. It would not be surprising if in 10 years every aspect of Thomas Jefferson has been remove from the university.

Kaleb Tucker had better hope he gets a cooperative platoon sergeant when he gets out into the Big Army. Otherwise, Lt. Tucker will never make it.

Just pathetic

UVA is removing the statue of George Rogers Clark. Who I think is America’s greatest battlefield commander. Why do I say that? No one has done the most with the least. During the Revolution he took an army of 175 men and seized control of the Old Northwest - from the Ohio River to Indiana ! Just look at a map to see how incredible that was ! The campaign was so arduous that many of the survivors ended up having damaged health for life. Remember this is in age of no veterans benefits or medical care. All you got for your effort was maybe some land and a chance to be thanked on subsequent 4th of Julys. Now Virginia is tossing his memory aside !

Might as well

Just presume who the board of governors are

PC SLUGS AND CORPORATISTS

I’ll tell you who killed VMI

long ago it was Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Dick Thornburgh and George H W Bush

When they forced women on them with the threat of stripping ROTC

It’s been downhill since

Look who’s on the board

Three women

Several blacks

Over half are litigators

The others are corporate lifers

It’s a joke

Woke commissars

You can strip every man from West Point or Annapolis or Colorado Springs too

99% were racist by today’s measure

Makes no difference who’s army they fought for

My dad and his ‘55 classmates like Johnny Morgan and Troy Carter and Royce Jones .. all RIP ...would weep ....and men like that never cried in public anyhow

I just pulled my sons app....he’s disgusted

I’m disgusted

My dad left a ton of money to them......I’m so pissed

I wonder how the old school sorts like Margaret Jones....she was a big part of the alumni affairs for many years ....I was fond of her...I think she’s around 85 now

Btw....we have a cadre here who love this stuff....just for the record

I remember when they took Dixie from Ole Miss...my alma mater....courtesy Trent Lott’s son

Are USMA USNA out of the question? Other than a few years obligation that’s even cheaper.

Those require an appointment

Unlikely

Just as PC

JR should have zotted them long ago

Virginia law forbade teaching a slave, free black or mulatto to read or write

So? Today's teacher's unions, such as the NEA, follow the same policy and they don't need some steekin' law to make them do so.

Thomas J Jackson did it anyway in his Sunday School class at the Lexington Presbyterian Church. From 1855 until the war interrupted it.

Not only that but allowed them in ranks of the army not just as cooks or servants either but fully armed fully equipped infantry.
